Our Community Matters:
Day of Caring
United Way’s Day of Caring is a day of service during where volunteers from area businesses and organizations visit, assist, and complete projects at one of our community’s non-profit agencies and is an opportunity for community members to help others through hands-on experience to see where their donations go and how agency programs are improving lives.
Our next Day of Caring: UWST values our volunteers and agency partners who participate in the annual Day of Caring. Currently, UWST staff is evaluating a new approach, including a potential change in the timing of this event. We appreciate your patience and will communicate our plans in the very near future. Thank you.
